Abstract: A sailboat sail includes a sheet of material that contains stretchable webs that assume a planar orientation when placed against a planar surface, but which can stretch into a sail or airfoil orientation when mounted to a sailboat and exposed to wind loading. The sheet includes at least two webs of PVC vinyl laminated together between which is disposed a scrim of polyester yarn. The yarn is cross-hatched in a predetermined directional pattern. The sail has informational content, such as advertising, printed thereon or otherwise imparted thereto. A method for manufacturing such a sail includes providing a sheet of the aforementioned sail material, printing on one or both sides of the sheet information content to be displayed while the sail is mounted upon a sailboat, and cutting the sheet into the shape of a sail. The sheet may be cut before or after the information is imprinted thereon.

Abstract: Techniques for Walsh space assignment are disclosed. In one aspect, a list of Walsh functions is maintained in the base station (104) and mobile stations (106). A Walsh space indicator is transmitted to indicate which of the Walsh functions on the list are to be used in communication. The Walsh space indicator is updated according to the dynamically varying transmit power available or the use of Walsh functions within the base station. Methods by which a mobile station can request Walsh space information are provided. In another aspect, a Walsh space indicator channel is continually broadcast for mobile stations to detect the Walsh space indicator therefrom. In yet another aspect, the Walsh space indicator is used to initialize convolutional encoders (260) and decoders (304), to provide a mechanism for mitigating against errors introduced while receiving Walsh space indicators.; Various other aspects are also presented.

Abstract: When the image data having a predetermined gradation value for each pixel is input, and the image data is searched from the initial pixel and the total of the gradation values of the pixels, including the searched pixels, becomes a predetermined threshold value or more, a dot is generated at the center of the gravity position as a quantized pixel group. In the searching, an unprocessed pixel closest to the center of gravity position, including this pixel, is selected. If there are a plurality of unprocessed pixels, selection is performed at random. For the pixel selection, a pixel closest to the center position computed from the positional coordinates may be selected, rather than the center of gravity. Also a dot may be generated at the center position of the quantized pixel group. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system and method for applying brine solution to food pieces, such as potato chips, allows application of brine solution to a continuous stream of food pieces in a brine bath, while maintaining a continuously refreshed supply of brine solution in the brine bath, but without requiring that the used brine be discharged as effluent. Food pieces are washed in a water bath and then deposited, with an amount of surface water carried on the washed slices, into a brine bath tank. The brine bath tank has a predetermined volume of brine solution at a predetermined concentration of brining substance in the solution. The food pieces are marinated in the brine bath so as to thoroughly wet the pieces and are then removed from the brine bath tank with an amount of surface solution carried on the slices. The amount of surface solution carried on the marinated slices is greater than the amount of surface water carried on the washed, pre-marinated slices. Brine solution and/or salts are continuously added to the brine bath tank to maintain a specified volume and concentration of brine solution within the brine bath tank. The amount of brine solution that is removed from the brine bath tank is about equal to the amount of fresh brine solution and/or salts that are added to the tank, so that the entire volume of brine solution within the brine bath tank is replaced after processing a predetermined amount of food pieces through the brine bath tank. A microbicide may be added to the brine bath tank to prevent microbial growth within the tank, and the brine solution may be filtered to remove filterable contaminants therefrom.
